Israeli Tourists Waiting for Refunds for Canceled Kingfisher Flights

A number of Israeli tourists have said that they have not yet received a refund for flights booked on Indian carrier Kingfisher Airlines. Kingfisher has been struggling during recent months and recently halted all international flights. The flights that were canceled were those booked during Passover, which is a significant Jewish holiday. Yair, from Be'ersheva, was told the flights were canceled four weeks ago, but the travel agent could not refund the money, because they weren't getting any from Kingfisher.

Yair, said he called Kingfisher himself and they said they can only refund travel agents who apply for refunds through the BSP. The airlines spokesperson that was contacted said that today is a holiday and that they will respond tomorrow. However, travel agent Nurit Pelli said that every time the try to request a refund through BSP they are told they cannot do so for that airline.
